Where can I find ...? Does anyone have...? How do I do....? Would anyone like to buy...? Fill in the blanks and send them off to those who know the answers. First, sign up to the yahoo group "Basel Expats".
Now, I primarily use this group to find out about good deals, but it also is the quickest way to get your question out to as many expats / locals as possible and therefore increases your chances for getting the best advice. Believe me many folks are out there just waiting to help answer your questions.
I'd like to share with you a few questions I had answered within hours of posting:
How do I get my french license? What does that involve?
Does anyone have recommendations for plasters, painter, etc...?
I'm looking for a bike trailer. Anyone looking to sell?
By far the most exciting aspect of this group is the thrill of the hunt! When we first moved into our house (well, even before since it took so long) I was up every morning checking for sales. Our house is now very well furnished with barely used wardrobes, (American) couches, chairs, lamps and wool rugs!
It's a great way to get great deals and help those in transition. When and if you end up moving away or moving this way you can look to Basel Expats for some help.
